A few days later, the Jiaozhi soldiers led by Lü Meng learned that the main force of Jiangdong, Baitengjiang, had been defeated on the way to retreat, and these soldiers and horses immediately defected and almost killed Lü Meng's three people.

In this way, in the Battle of Jiaozhou, Jiangdong sent almost all the generals at the bottom of the box, but in the end, only Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, Huang Gai, Lu Meng, Ling Tong, and Han Dang ran away, and the elite soldiers were almost wiped out.

Zhuge Liang accidentally captured the young general Wei Wen on the Jiangdong sea ship, and the Jiangdong general Zhu Ran, after learning of this situation, had no choice but to surrender, Cao Wu left Wei Wen as a staff member of the Northern Mansion, and Zhu Ran waited for the north to redistribute the official position. But according to Cao Wu's arrangement, Bacheng would let him guard Jiaozhou and be Li Dian's deputy general.

Many generals were demoted, but Lu Fan was the most virtuous, and he would rather die than surrender, and in the end, Li Dian, who was injured by him, personally asked and beheaded.

Cao Wu has already reported to Xu Du and played Li Dian as the general of Suinan Zhonglang, replacing Shixie's position, which is equivalent to containing the full favor.

In addition to Li Dian, Cao Wu also left Jiang Wan, showing him as a don't drive in Jiaozhou, it stands to reason that Jiang Wan is too young and has few qualifications, so he can't sit in the position of deputy of the state pastor, but he is full of favor and disagrees with Cao Wu's idea, so that Jiang Wan, a young man in his early twenties, can do not drive and envy others.

But Jiang Wan's own performance quickly blocked everyone's mouths, he not only represented the rights and interests of Beifu in Jiaozhou, but also won the trust of Man Zhong and Li Dian, and the three of them hindered each other in Jiaozhou, forming a new officialdom pattern in Jiaozhou.

Zhao Yun, who fought against Ling Tong in Guangxin City, was seriously injured again and was still recuperating, Cao Wu arranged him to recuperate in Guangxin, planning to wait for him to recover from his injuries before talking about anything else.

Everything was arranged, and Cao Wubian went on the road lightly.

On May 1, the 14th year of Jian'an, it rained in Nanhai County.

This little rain is not only not boring, but refreshing.

Cao Wu only took Diao Chan and many maidservants from Beifu to the southernmost tip of Nanhai County.

After these days of intelligence gathering, Diao Chan also has a general impression of Jiaozhou.

She introduced: "Not far from the sea, there is an island, hundreds of miles long and wide, which has never been seen in the Central Plains. At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, it was set up as Yazhou, but due to the barbarian rebellion, it was eventually withdrawn. ”

Cao Wu nodded and said: "The south of the sky, the south of the sea, Yazhou is not as good as Hainan Island." ”

Ah Si chuckled: "The general has taken a nickname again, I haven't heard of an island with a nickname." ”

She smiled skillfully, if she wasn't someone who really understood, I'm afraid no one would have imagined that under the city of Guangxin, the landmine that took people's lives was precisely because of her handwriting, and Lu Meng's sworn battle was also destroyed in her hands.

Ah Shi sniffed and said, "The climate here is warm, and it has been a long time, and it is indeed inconvenient for northerners. ”

Cao Wu beat the horse forward, and the little red horse walked on the seaside.

During this period, although Nanhai County was also a plain, because of the hot climate and far away from the Central Plains, it was neglected to develop, and there was no one in sight for half a day.

The people in Beifu didn't know where Cao Wu was taking them.

Eventually, they came to the edge of a large river.

It is not the Baiteng River in Jiaozhi, but the Pearl River that flows through Yulin, Cangwu, Nanhai and other counties.

Simply wider than the water surface, the Pearl River is even wider than the Yangtze River, and this big river enters the sea here, swallowing the momentum of Jiaozhou.

"In fact, the current Jiaozhou, where there are many people, is west of Guangxin."

Cao Wu held a horsewhip in his hand and pointed in the direction of Guangxin City in the northwest.

"The west of Guangxin, that is, Guangxi, is now crowded here. In the future, people are all east of Guangxin, that is, Guangdong. ”

The Pearl River is obviously in Guangdong, which Cao Wu said.

He carefully identified the estuary of the Pearl River, but finally could not find the place he was looking for.

The rest of the word, he didn't say to everyone.

He only said it in his own heart.

"In 1,300 years, there will be three major cities near the mouth of the Pearl River, which will be at the forefront of the world stage."

"There is one of them, where my whole youth has been."

"I used to live a 996 life there, fighting for a house, and when I returned to the rental house at night, I became a keyboard warrior, looking for a place to put my soul in cyberspace."

"It's tired, it's numb, it's mechanically alive every day. But in the end, I couldn't stay there. ”

"Some people say that this city only wants your youth, but it's a pity that I didn't wait for the end."

He shook his head, came out of his haphazard thoughts, and found himself at the mouth of the Pearl River.

Only then did he realize that this was 1,300 years ago, and the Pearl River at this time had not yet broken out of the land where the city was located, and the place called Shenzhen was nowhere to be found after all.

Diao Chan and the others followed silently on horseback, they didn't understand Cao Wu's emotions, but they didn't ask, they just quietly accompanyed.

Cao Wu looked at it for a while, but after all, he couldn't find some traces, and he didn't know if he could go back.

He put the last trace of nostalgia for the past here, and he will not think about it again.

Time is a cycle, and since fate has brought him here, there is always something to do.

No matter how many blockades are broken, you always have to do it.

Jingzhou has been decided, Jiaozhou has also been decided, and the next goal is to beat the water dogs, and wait until the summer and autumn seasons to gather the army and take Jiangdong.

Cao Wu waited for a while, waiting for Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, and Chen to follow behind.

Chen Zhi felt that he was a general, and he was incompatible with these people, but Cao Wu always wanted to invite, so he came, which is also his attitude, proving that he has recognized the identity of the retainer of the Beifu, and will be the staff of the Beifu in the future, and he will be the front and rear of Cao Wu's saddle. Especially in the battle of Guangxin, after seeing the strength of Beifu, he was even more determined in his thoughts.

Chen Zhi is not a person who betrays the lord to seek glory, but before Pang Tong calculated him and made him an outcast, he was disheartened with Liu Bei, but now that he has a master, he is indeed appreciated, so he is naturally no longer guilty.

As for Wei Yan, he had already recognized Cao Wu and was willing to be a retainer for Cao Wu, even if he didn't have an official position, he wanted to do things under Cao Wu.

On the contrary, the veteran Huang Zhong took a lot of effort, after all, he has an official body, and he needs to abandon the official first and then vote for Cao Wu.

Cao Wu waited for Zhuge Liang and the five people to arrive, pointed south with a whip, and said to them: "Kong Ming, Bo Yan, Han Shenggong, Wen Chang, Shu Zhi, do you know, what is there in the south of the sea?"

Zhuge Liang smiled: "I heard Miss Ah say before, there are islands on the other side of the sea. ”

"Yes, but more than one island."

Cao Wuyou pointed to the south and said: "In addition to Yazhou, there are Luzon, Java, and farther away, there is an island as big as Huaxia. ”

He looked around at the five people: "You are all the world's most famous civil and military generals, how can you only stare at this corner of China?" ”

Among these people, Wei Yan was the least confident, and Cao Wu said that he was the best in the world, so he couldn't help but be honored, and said happily: "Naturally not, when the Central Plains is calmed down, I can't say that I will go to the south to see." ”

Cao Wu laughed: "Not only in the south, but also in the extreme north, east, and west, there is land, and the work cannot be completed." If this generation can't finish fighting, the next generation, children and grandchildren, one day, this universe will be full of Yan and Huang descendants! ”

After that, he no longer waited for the stunned five people, rode the little red horse up the Pearl River, and went straight away.

These five people were stunned for a long time, but Zhuge Liang was the first to react, and he also laughed.

"My lord, I am indispensable for the well-being of the people of the world!"

He followed Cao Wu on horseback, and then Lu Xun and others followed, and a group of more than ten people went north.

After another ten days, Cao Wu returned to the northern mountains of Cangwu, near the place where Feng Xiao Pang Tong died, and he suddenly felt an alarm in his heart while traveling.

Then he saw an old man stop in front of him.

It was the person who had gone to see Liu Bei not long ago.
